EMBARKATION: efficient and easy. 15 mins from arrival to boarding. CABIN: Stayed in cabin Club Balcony suite on deck 13. Fairly standard balcony cabin. USB outlets bedside were a plus, but room phone was across the way near the VERY SMALL television. Hangers in closet are difficult as the hanger fits awkwardly on a ring with "hook and eye" making it cumbersome to take them in and out. Double wide sink basin is very nice for this size cabin. Cabin was VERY QUIET and sleeping was very comfortable. DINING: Manhattan Room (main dining) first night was a bit of a cluster as we waited 45 minutes for a party of 7 to be seated, and once seated service was slow...almost 2 hours to serve 3 courses. Food was acceptable albeit not memorable. Night 2 was specialty venue Q Smokehouse. Totally different and postitive experience from first night. Country music was live, 45 minutes on, 15 off. Food and service was excellent. The brisket is spectacular in this restaurant. Perhaps best we've ever had. All four of the desserts were also excellent. Night 3 was specialty Le Bistro. Have been here several times and always consistent, although losing Veuve Clicquot by the glass as included in previous bev package was a downer. Victim of the post Covid cutbacks. Escargot and the Onion soup were great, as were mains of the filet and the lamb. But the Coq Au Vin was dry and lacked flavor. Service was outstanding. We have always felt that both food and service on NCL have been underrated. Night 4 was main dining Savor. Service again excellent, although food was fine and paced well, it was nothing to highlight. Breakfast in main dining was consistent and not overcrowded. Eggs Benedict cooked perfectly. Leaving a small coffee pot at table was a nice touch as well. Buffet is a massive cluster every time we walked through it. Never actually ate there, opting for the Local instead and were quite satisfied. ENTERTAINMENT: as just a quick 4 nighter, there were no headliners. two comedians were very good. The shows in the Joy Theater were somewhat robotic and predictable. The choreography was ok, but the singing was sub par. Likely due to quick turnaround and short cruises. ACTIVITIES/ETC: Live music onboard was very average. Latin and techno mostly, with back beats and very average vocals. May e great for younger demographic, but as seniors, we prefer acoustic or piano over techno beats. Just a personal preference. A-List bar on 8 aft has best bartenders on the ship. By far. James and Marlon in particular. The Mojitos at the Sugarcane Bar are also very good, and the outside bars/seating areas on deck 8 are unique. Do not miss! Pool attendants were very consistent and came around often. Don't miss the "sexy legs" competition poolside. It is hilarious. Did not do the go karts but they looked to be slower than we remember. We DOCKED and Great Stirrup Cay which is a HUGE timesaver and makes that stop much more desireable. Nassau is....well...Nassau. Go to a local bar or walk to the right to Senor Frogs if you want crazy. Otherwise it's a great day to stay onboard. Casino onboard was typical, but blackjack only pays 6/5 at table under $25. Seats hard to come by, which is strange. Too many empty pai gow tables. Dealers were friendly. Did not play slots. Overall a great short cruise, and NCL specialty food/ overall service quality is what brings us back from Celebrity every so often. NCL is under appreciated in our opinion.
